However, that is not stopping the Premier League side from scouting and identifying potential transfer targets either later this month or in the summer. Signing a new striker appears to be high on the agenda Reuben Amorimas reported last week United have sent scouts to watch striker Samu Omorodion in action for Porto last weekend.
As well as Omorodion being looked at, there is also the possibility that United will look to sign the Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic this month. Journalist Enrico Camelio explained that a deal is possible, but only if Joshua Zirkzee leaves Old Trafford and heads in the opposite direction. In a further update, it is stated that the Italian side have made an official cash-plus-player offer, with both Vlahovic and Zirkzee open to moves this month.
Adding a new striker to his squad is not the only priority for Amor, as he is also looking to sign a new left-back, s Nuno Mendes high on the list. Mendes and Amorim worked together at Sporting and the pair are keen to reunite, with Mendes refusing to sign a new contract at PSG.

Mendes is on United’s list of potential new left-backs, but he is not their only target, as according to Fabrizio Romano, Man United have added Patrick Dorgu to their transfer wish list.
Dorgu, who is said to be valued at £30 millioncurrently plays for Italian side Lecce and has done so since July 2022, but did not join the club permanently until 2023. The defender is mainly a left-back, but can also play as a right-back as well as a full-back. field if necessary.
Romano reported that the Red Devils are continuing to consider their options for a new left-back, and have now added Dorgu to their shortlist. The Italian reports that Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and PSG’s Mendes are higher up the list than Dorgu, but the pair are also considered more expensive. United scouts have been monitoring Dorga in recent months, but he will face stiff competition from Napoli, who are also interested.

Dorgu won four caps for his country, Denmark, but before breaking into the first team, the left-back impressed his under-21 manager, Steffen Hojer, who called him up special:“What’s special about him (Dorg) is that he’s a quiet and calm guy, but things just come incredibly naturally to him on the football field.
“When they put him on the field, and it doesn’t matter which team, he just fits in and makes an incredible amount of good choices for such a young player.”
